Travel Agent details about Shanghai

Post-Mao-era Shanghai is light-years away from its restrained past (and even farther away from the equally unrestrained reputation it held for a long time before that). Today's Shanghai is firmly focused on the future, a bustling metropolis with a revitalized port and a sizzling art/shopping/restaurant scene that rivals even the most cosmopolitan of its Western cousins. Anyone with an eye for the global stage just has to see this city.

Attractions

Once you've traced Shanghai's colorful past along The Bund (the famed colonial-era street that forms the city's waterfront) and the French Concession (a goldmine of art deco architecture), make time for the Yu Gardens in the Old City. Eighteen years in the making (and nearly obliterated during the Opium War in 1842), this exquisite example of Ming garden design is well worth the visit.

Adventures

If you're looking to hone your hand/eye coordination, you've come to the right place. Sports like golf, bowling, tennis and badminton are enjoyed all over Shanghai. Want to rev things up? Try go-cart racing, a popular pastime with indoor and outdoor arenas throughout the city. For even mellower pursuits, go kite flying or try tai-chi in one of the city's splendid public parks.

Currency

The currency used in China is the Renminbi Yuan (RMB)
